Decoding the market
Case for Before 2026
'CFO Richard Galanti reveals that the price will stay the same - but only 'for a while.' (Emily Rella, Entrepreneur.com - 3.13.24)
Case for Not before 2026
'In September 2022, when inflation was much higher than its current level, Galanti said the margin on its gas and travel businesses 'help us be more aggressive in other areas or... hold the price on the hot dog and the soda a little longer, forever.' (Aislinn Murphy, Fox Business - 3.13.24)
